Democrats have been telling us that they don’t want to take your guns away. They only want to make it harder for people to buy a gun legally. Well, a corner of that tent flew up last week when Democrat Congressman Eric Swalwell<\/a> of California admitted that he wants to confiscate your gun like they did in Australia;<\/p>\n

Reinstating the federal assault weapons ban that was in effect from 1994 to 2004 would prohibit manufacture and sales, but it would not affect weapons already possessed. This would leave millions of assault weapons in our communities for decades to come.<\/p>\n

Instead, we should ban possession of military-style semiautomatic assault weapons, we should buy back such weapons from all who choose to abide by the law, and we should criminally prosecute any who choose to defy it by keeping their weapons. The ban would not apply to law enforcement agencies or shooting clubs.<\/p>\n

There’s something new and different about the surviving Parkland high schoolers\u2019 demands. They dismiss the moral equivalence we\u2019ve made for far too long regarding the Second Amendment. I’ve been guilty of it myself, telling constituents and reporters that \u201cwe can protect the Second Amendment and protect lives.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Only a moron would listen to high school students’ demands and take those demands seriously. Someone who is opposed to an amendment in the Bill of Right is just one such moron. I wonder how Swalwell intends to find all of the owners of semiautomatic firearms – suspend the protections against unreasonable searches in the Bill of Rights, too?<\/p>\n

Swalwell claims that if the government pays us $1000\/rifle it would cost the government about $15 billion to buy the whole bunch back;<\/p>\n

The federal government is spending an estimated $4 trillion this year; $15 billion would be 0.375% of that, not that we must spend it all in one year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the GOP\u2019s tax \u201creform\u201d \u2014 a giveaway to corporations and the rich that threw comparatively meager scraps to working families \u2014 is projected to increase the national debt by $1.9 trillion over the next decade.<\/p>\n

What is it worth to American taxpayers to not see our families, friends and neighbors cut down in a hail of gunfire? Consider this an investment in averting carnage and heartache and loss. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So $15 billion is the cost of hyperbole. I wonder if he did the math on the cost of making prosecutors enforce the existing laws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
